My Navara pickup was left for 8 months, started like a dream when I came back. One thing you might consider is getting some moth balls and spreading them around the engine compartment where any wiring is exposed. I'd had a problem with rodents chewing the wiring before. Fortunately, I was able to repair the chewed wires. When I was away for those 8 months, there was no evidence of rodents at all. I also use them along the outside of a door into the garden; rodents won't come near.

I've got a few tiles off one side of the apex roof, probably also need the wood replacing. Does anyone have any contacts or know somebody who could do this repair for me? I'm not looking for a major building company, or any of the usual cowboys who seem to suddenly appear from around the corner but, I would like a decent job doing. Any info will be much appreciated. Best regards Moti

Thanks - I've just updated the post to visiting my wife.

Hi all, After last year’s fiasco of arriving Visa Exempt, and the transition to a 12 Month Non-O costing me 25,000Baht instead of 3,900Baht even though I had 800,000Baht in the bank (Unfortunately, that visa expired before my return), I’m a bit wary of being ripped-off for a second time. . I’ve entered with a 90 day Non-O this time, and reluctant to go through the same bureaucratic chaos again. To this end, I haven’t transferred any money more that I need this time round because the 90 Day Non-O classes me as a tourist, and I will need to travel back to The UK in March. However, next year, I will not need to travel back to The UK. My Questions: Only 1 really; Extending the 90 Day Non-O by 60 days to visit wife – What paperwork do I need to supply to immigration? I understand that I need an Application Form, Passport Photo Page and Visa Page and Proof of Current Address, but I’m more concerned with the hidden agenda that so often crops-up. Any information will be much appreciated. Best regards Moti

Take me back to the seventies any day. Everything went downhill very quickly after the Internet and mobile phones were invented.

I've used Talk 360 for years. Just download the app from Play Store, and put some credit on. When you input a number, the app will advise the cost per minute before you press the call button. On the other hand, you could always use WattsApp.

He could always nip over to France, and jump in a dinghy. The 5 star hotels seem to be free these days!

I don't see his todger hanging out. So who did his pants up?

Red-Light Zone within a Red-Light Zone! That's a new one!

I binned Windows 16 years ago for Linux. I've used LibreOffice almost every day since, and it's a world apart from Windows Office.

As I said, "I'll not hold my breath for any honest answers.". You really need to get out more.

I'm British, and proud of it. However, there are times, sometimes on a daily basis, when I feel extremely embarrassed by the actions of my fellow countrymen. When the members of the "Anti-British Brigade" wake-up, and realise that some of their own fellow countrymen leave a lot to be desired, maybe they can give an honest appraisal of their own shortcomings. I'll not hold my breath for any honest answers.

Yesterday afternoon, I was travelling along 2nd Road in Pattaya, between Klang and Nua. There is a set of lights along that stretch that was turning red as I approached. So I stopped. About 10 seconds later, a Thai couple started to cross. Without warning, 3 pickups, a tour bus and 2 motorcycles came through on my outside without even slowing down. The couple were visibly shaken, as they were almost run-over. I was left there at the red light, with the Thai couple looking at me as if they expected me to do something. Thankfully, they were OK; however, they they were so close to the tour bus, they were extremely luck not to be knocked-down. I caught-up with the tour bus at Dolphin Roundabout. The driver didn't have a clue how to navigate round, just forcing his way, so cars had no choice but to stop. It's about time the police started cracking down on these morons!

Morris !000 Convertable. I painted it Pillar Box Red; stood out like a donkey's D1ck. It had some small holes in the front nearside floor. There were bad floods in London at the time; if I didn't slow down enough, fountains of water would jet-up and disappear over the back of the car. The good old days!

Next time you hear somebody spouting SAS stories, take their picture and tell them you are sending it to your mate at GCHQ. If you are still breathing 30 seconds later, he was talking Bullsh1t.
